If you're into neo-liberal economic policy, then why vote for Howard? Latham is actually more fiscally conservative than Howard when it comes to economic policy -- hell; he recently got into a stoush with ACOSS over welfare. When was the last time you heard a Labor leader attacking a body like that because they're 'pro-welfare'.

Myself, I’ll be voting for Greens the with Labor second and Howard last -- essentially because I agree with everything Bob Brown says and disagree with everything the Liberals do (War in Iraq, refugees, bad economic management, obsession with the US at the expense of our own region, funding of wealthy private schools at the expense of struggling non-government and government schools, HECS fees to name a but a few).

Nearly every stage? That aside, in a sense it's irrelevant whether most were in favor of it -- it was still a misguided mistake.

Hate to correct you, but it's Trinidad and Tobago. If you're going to throw around random (and untrue) insults, you could at least go to the trouble of making them accurate

You cant expect to give things to people on a platter you gotta work for it Thats the problem with todays world, they think the people that are well off are just lucky. They dont believe that they worked their arses off to get where they are now. Dont they also deserve a break?

I notice you didn't address a single one of my points

And as someone who has worked extremely hard to get where I am, living in a nice house in a nice area, enjoying a well-paying and secure job at a large multinational company and having plenty of disposable income, I don't think I'm particularly lucky. And where's the problem in wanting to make it easier for others? It's nice to think of others, rather than being selfish all the time

I dont bother addressing your points because i couldnt care less what you think I know what im gonna vote and no amount of propaganda and comments on a "trance" website is gonna swing my vote. I just feel sorry for the younger people on this forum who will read some of the rubbish wrote on here, for all 3 parties, and will then use that information to make a vote.

Hence why i cbf addressing a single one of your points.
